THE NE.W YORKER which obliged them to slide about spir- itedly. I gasped; I remembered her say- ing what those steps would probably do to her costume. I didn't regain my com- posure until, toward the end of the play, the guy picked up a hat, pommelled it once or twice, jammed it roughly on his head, and made his last exit. I was so glad to see him go that it didn't occur to me for quite a while that it was my hat. Y OU may have noticed me in the Easter parade, wearing a baggy old tweed and that curiously misshapen hat. My cleaner-and-presser tried to get the gabardine ready for me in time, but he had to announce at the last minute that he had considerably more work to put in on it. "I can't imagine what you did to it to get it in this condition," he said when my wife and I dropped in together to check on his progress. "Oh, you know how men are," she replied lightly. -E. J.

Thank God for those Editors in the past that positively refused to accept a booze advertisement. That is the reason that I say patriotism has degenerated for no man who loves his country is going to pollute his fellow man by advocating the sale of fire water. Ob- viously we have fallen upon a time when there is no marked distinction between what is right and what is wrong. Some where along the line we have missed the bus either in the school, the home or the church.
